Checkerboard Pizza of Eastside

Great food, and good area to socialize with friends. I really recommend the fries, papaya salad and their chicken wings/feet. I consider this place a hidden gem in Saint Paul. For a bar, it definitely has it's own sprinkle when it comes to dining. If you're looking for a nice pleasant experience to try out their food, go early! As more bodies fill up the building, it gets quite loud. Food is always fresh, and made to order. I will be back!

I only gave 1 star because I have to for my review. We order the fried chicken feets and larb. The chicken feet was over fried to the bone. We couldn't get anything from it besides the over seasoned whatever stuff, that they used. I will not order any food from this restaurant again nor recommend anyone to. I'm very disappointed.

Really good papaya salad, a wonderful balance of flavors. It’s very different from Thai style papaya salad so if you’re into evolving your taste buds don’t miss out. They can customize the spice level, so you can still enjoy the bursts of joy with each bite without missing the goodness. Pair it with their sticky rice and grilled meats, you are set with a fun, adventurous meal.

Food was great, service was great. Felt like liquor was on the lower end. I definitely recommend it.

Great place to go for a bite and a beer. It can get crowded on weekends. Go early to avoid the crowd. Lots of good food to try if you like Hmong food.

Enjoy the food. They only offer take out now. No longer open to the public as a bar.Food: 4/5

BEST PAPAYA SALAD!!! I love their spice level. It’s actually spicy enough to my liking, so be careful when you pick a spice level! Their chicken wing laab is amazing and so if their beef laab. Actually, I love all their food!Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: YesTakeout: Yes

Friendly staff and great customer service. My only issue is, the last two times I've been here to get takeout, I've found hair in my food both times. It kind of ruins my appetite but the good thing is they were quick to give me a refund. The food is good though, it's just too bad I've found hair in my food both times. It might be awhile until my next visit.

Fried Chicken - Larb Style The best "Fried Chicken Larb Style" in the world is here. Order this one and couple it with sticky rice. You will never regret you try it. Come and thank me later

Place is okay. Weekends are crazy busy and packed. Food is actually pretty good. For you pepper eater out there medium spicy will burn your lips. Just how I like it. Usually a good and smaller crowd on week days. Will come here to have a couple drinks and see the pretty bartender ladies. They are the best!!!
